It's been years, but have you ever read "Sideshow" by I think William Shawn? It's about the bombing of Cambodia late in the war. I found it illuminating.

Also, far afield of topic, try Barbara Tuchman's "The 14'th century, a Distant Mirror". It's a great read, and her thesis that while the reality of combat changes, the cultural metaphor of war remains dangerously the same. As Histories go, it's a real page turner.
